The wastewater generated during gelatin production is rich in proteins, grease, and high-molecular-weight organic matter, so it easily produces large amounts of stubborn foam in subsequent treatment stages. This foam not only occupies a large portion of tank capacity and reduces treatment efficiency, but can also lead to a series of operational problems such as overflow, equipment corrosion, and inaccurate measurement, directly affecting production continuity and cost control.
The market generally faces pain points such as incomplete foam elimination, large defoamer dosages that produce only short-lived effects, or the introduction of new pollutants. In response to these challenges, Chemi Tech, drawing on in-depth application research, has developed an efficient defoaming solution specifically addressing the characteristics of gelatin wastewater.
The core of our solution lies in precise formulation design and mechanism of action. The product uses a specially modified polysiloxane composite system that can quickly penetrate and spread across the foam lamella, lowering the local surface tension and promoting drainage and thinning of the lamella until it ruptures. It is characterized by long-lasting foam suppression, low dosage, and good compatibility with the wastewater system, without causing negative effects on subsequent process stages.
The specific implementation steps are divided into four parts: the first step is on-site diagnosis and technical discussion, in which our engineers learn about your specific water quality, process stages, and foam characteristics. The second step is laboratory bench testing and formula screening, in which matching defoamer samples are provided to verify the effect. The third step is to formulate an on-site dosing plan, determining the optimal dosing point, dosing method, and recommended starting dosage. The fourth step is to provide on-site application guidance and effect tracking to ensure stable operation.
At a medium-sized gelatin production enterprise in East China, foam accumulation in its wastewater equalization tank seriously affected aeration and pumping efficiency. After adopting the custom defoamer provided by Chemi Tech and dosing it continuously at the tank inlet through a metering pump, the foam was significantly controlled within 24 hours, the effective tank volume was restored, equipment operation returned to normal, and the monthly defoamer consumption was reduced by about 30% compared with the original product, earning sustained recognition from the customer.
Choosing Chemi Tech means choosing a more professional and more economical path to foam control. Through innovative chemical products and technical services, we are committed to helping customers solve difficult problems in production and improve overall operating efficiency.
